Blocking and Unblocking Content by Rating
A channel may sometimes broadcast programs that are meant for
children, and at other times broadcast programs that are meant
for mature audiences. You may not want to block the channel
completely using a channel lock, but you may wish to block certain
programs from being viewed.
When this is the case, you can use the TV’s Rating Block feature to
block content based on its rating.
For a list of content ratings and their definitions, visit
www.tvguidelines.org.
To block or unblock content by its rating:
1. From the PARENTAL CONTROLS menu, highlight the content
type you want to adjust and press
OK:
USA TV - USA television program broadcasts.
USA Movie - USA movie broadcasts.
Canadian English - Canadian English television program
broadcasts.
Canadian French - Canadian French television program
broadcasts.
2. For each rating type you want to block or unblock, use the
Up/Down and Left/Right Arrow buttons on the remote to
highlight the rating type and press
OK.
3. When the rating type is
blocked, the Lock icon appears
locked. Content with this rating and all higher ratings cannot
be viewed.
4. When the rating type is
unblocked, the Lock icon appears
unlocked. Content with this rating and all lower ratings can be
viewed.
If you want to block all unrated content, highlight
Block
Unrated Shows and use the Arrow buttons on the remote to
select
On.
5. When you are finished adjusting the rating level blocks, press
the
EXIT button on the remote.
